## 📚 Education & Knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
- Never stop learning
|
||||
- Learn from others
|
||||
- Teach others what you know
|
||||
- Communicate precisely
|
||||
- Ask the right questions, not just the easy ones
|
||||
- Primary sources over secondary sources
|
||||
- Read books, lots of books
|
||||
- Read books, not news
|
||||
- Study history and economics to understand the present and future
|
||||
- Learn languages
|
||||
- Learn poems
|
||||
|
||||
## 🧠 Personal Development
|
||||
|
||||
- Be yourself
|
||||
- Don’t compare yourself with others
|
||||
- Act as if your ancestors are watching
|
||||
- Take control of yourself before you take on the world
|
||||
- Behave like your best self
|
||||
- Discipline beats motivation
|
||||
- The best time was yesterday, the second best is now
|
||||
- Do the work: Work on yourself, nothing comes by itself, you have to invest in yourself and work hard to achieve something
|
||||
- Take care of yourself (health, psyche, finances, relationships, living conditions)
|
||||
- If you can’t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right
|
||||
- Build wealth, not possessions
|
||||
|
||||
## 🏠 Order & Structure
|
||||
|
||||
- The strength is to be found in serenity
|
||||
- Stop and enjoy
|
||||
- Don’t be a Zombie. Be aware of your surroundings.
|
||||
- Don’t stand in other people’s way, physically and mentally. Don’t stand in doorways, in front of escalators, or block sidewalks with a group of people. And don’t stand in the way of other people’s goals and dreams.
|
||||
- Create systems, not goals
|
||||
- What you don’t need burdens you
|
||||
- Order on the outside creates order on the inside
|
||||
- A place for everything, everything in its place (Mise en place)
|
||||
- Plan tomorrow today
|
||||
- Establish strong morning routines
|
||||
- Clean your room
|
||||
|
||||
## 💪 Mental Strength
|
||||
|
||||
- The world owes you nothing
|
||||
- Fuck Hopium. Don't wait for others to solve your problems.
|
||||
- Strong men create good times
|
||||
- Fuck your feelings. Don’t take everything literally.
|
||||
- What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
|
||||
- Resilience comes through resistance
|
||||
- Speech you hate, is not hate speech
|
||||
- If you think, shutting somebody down, will make them go away, you are like a child that thinks closing the eyes, will make the monster go away.
|
||||
- Develop antifragile systems
|
||||
- Delay gratification. Only those who are able to wait, can reap the rewards.
|
||||
- “Yes, and …” mentality, not “but” mentality
|
||||
- Don’t be afraid to fail
|
||||
- No risk, no reward
|
||||
- Be hard on yourself, but forgiving to others
|
||||
- Surround yourself with good people
|
||||
|
||||
## 🌟 Philosophical Principles
|
||||
|
||||
- Freedom is non-negotiable
|
||||
- Freedom over authoritarianism
|
||||
- There is no such thing as absolute security. Freedom always comes before security.
|
||||
- Anyone who wants to trade freedom for security deserves to lose both.
|
||||
- Fuck Collectivism
|
||||
- Fuck bureaucracy
|
||||
- Individualism beats collectivism
|
||||
- Decentralized beats centralized
|
||||
- Sovereignty beats dependence
|
||||
- Subsidiarity over centralism
|
||||
- Small is beautiful
|
||||
- Less Marx, more Mises
|
||||
- Nothing is more social than capitalism. Capitalism forces you to serve your fellow citizens.
|
||||
- Capitalism is the absence of coercion. Socialism is the absence of voluntariness.
|
||||
- If it looks like a socialist, acts like a socialist, and talks like a socialist, then it probably is a socialist.
|
||||
- There is no free lunch
|
||||
- Look at what people do, not what they say
|
||||
- Everything the state touches turns to shit
|
||||
- Taxation is theft
|
||||
- Inflation is theft
|
||||
- Fiat money is a scam
|
||||
- Democracy is the tyranny of the apathetic
|
||||
- Never side with the mob
|
||||
- The road to hell is paved with good intentions
|
||||
- The opposite of good is well-intentioned
|
||||
- Skin in the game or no voice
|
||||
- I don’t care if you agree
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Critical Thinking
|
||||
|
||||
- Don’t trust, validate everything
|
||||
- What seems obvious is rarely true
|
||||
- Consensus is not the same as truth
|
||||
- Nobody has a special authority, nobody has the final say
|
||||
- Yesterday’s conspiracy is today’s reality
|
||||
- Everything is a psy-op until proven otherwise
|
||||
- Think in systems, not events
|
||||
- Follow the Money
|
||||
- Cui bono? Who benefits?
|
||||
- Always ask about the incentives
|
||||
- Don’t change an existing system until you fully understand it (Chesterton’s Fence)
|
||||
- Less television, more thinking for yourself
|
||||
- Take the red pill, don’t live in the illusion that some think tank, elite group, or politician constructed for you
|
||||
- Reject the black pill; good always wins in the long run
|
||||
- If someone tells you who they are, believe them
|
||||
|
||||
## 🌍 Social Attitude
|
||||
|
||||
- Tell the truth, or at least don’t lie. Not to yourself, not to others.
|
||||
- You can tell all the lies you want, but don’t force me to pay for it
|
||||
- All state television must be abolished!
|
||||
- Don’t be a _Mitläufer_ (passive follower). Be the 25 % in the [Asch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asch_conformity_experiments) and [Milgram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment) experiments.
|
||||
- Resist the war against excellence, individualism, and the urge to conformity and mediocrity
|
||||
- If you make everything equal, you reach the lowest common denominator.
|
||||
- Exit via voice
|
||||
- Put your money where your mouth is
|
||||
- Vote with your feet
|
||||
- Build parallel structures
|
||||
- Act locally, think globally
|
||||
- Walk the red light when there is no traffic
|
||||
- Only follow rules that make sense; don’t be an obedient sheep.
|
||||
- Civil Disobedience is a moral imperative
|
||||
- All punishments for victimless crimes must be abolished
|
||||
- Be the change you want to see
|
||||
- Lead by example
|
||||
- Create value for others
|
||||
- Support those who do the right thing
|
||||
|
||||
## 😊 Joy of Life
|
||||
|
||||
- Memento mori, memento vivere
|
||||
- Find Beauty in Everyday Life
|
||||
- Create memories, not possessions
|
||||
- Get out of your head, into the body
|
||||
- Go for a walk, demons hate fresh air
|
||||
- Do meaningful things
|
||||
- Cultivate real friendships
|
||||
- Live analog in a digital world
|
||||
- Share and create memes. Mock your enemies until they cry. Mockery and ridicule are the best weapons against totalitarian thinking.
|
||||
- Laugh at everything, especially at yourself. Nothing is off-limits.
|
||||
- Have fun
